Thread TaperThread Taper is also a required API Spec 5B inspection. For more accurate taper inspections, the Gagemaker Thread Taper Gages confirm that the coupling and an end will have matching tapers. As connections are made up, taper errors induce high stresses that can eventually lead to connection failure.

Thread HeightProper Thread Height maximizes the performance of the connection. Thread height is also an API requirement. Gagemaker thread height gages inspect external or internal thread height for a variety of thread forms. A shallow thread height may allow the connection to pull apart under stress.

Pitch Diameter/Crest Cone Diameter

Pitch Diameter governs the strength of the actual thread assembly and ensures API dimensional measurement specs are met. The Gagemaker MRP gages measure the internal and external pitch diameters of tapered threaded connectors. Any slight variations in diameter are immediately detected with these precision gages granting you total control over your quality.

Thread FormCorrect Thread Form is important for a pipe end and coupling to make up properly. Doing a quick check using a Gagemaker Thread Profile Gage verifies the thread form is correct.

Thread LeadVerifying Thread Lead is within tolerance is a required inspection according to API. The Gagemaker Lead Gage inspects both internal and external thread lead. Lead variation has a direct impact on diameter and make up.

Inspection System

• Inspect both Standard and Non-Standard connections – all using the same gages• Protect against mechanical forces such as tension and leakage that tend to destroy tubing & casing• Inspect any type of tubing or casing connector including API round thread, long thread, short thread, line pipe, and buttress

• Scrutinize ALL thread elements with precision and accuracy• Ensure proper thread interference when pipe and coupling make-up• Pinpoint thread errors that cause expansion of the coupling and compression of the pipe end
